# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine beef slices with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly and set aside to marinate while preparing the vegetables.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha or chili paste, honey, and water until smooth and well combined.
03 - Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil and sear the marinated beef for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to achieve an even brown. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
